It was more than obvious to anyone who saw these photos of Alicia performing at the BBC event in Wales over the weekend. And now major media outlets have gotten their public confirmation from “sources” that yes, Swizz Beats and Alicia Keys are expecting a baby and planning to marry later this year. It was good to hear from Swizz before the word got out, he sounded very happy and very much in love, but that’s been the case for a while now. Their original wedding plans involved exotic locales and an amazing setting but I wonder if those plans have changed now that A.Keys may be a little bit more motion-sickness prone : ) Either way, this is a big deal for both, and for the extended family too. Since babies are a blessing, I hope that this also enables the adults to get to a peaceful place.

…did swizz buy that jacket from a bum?
oh yeah, having kids is a good look.
May 27th, 2010 at 9:11 pm
oooh. shocker -_-
May 27th, 2010 at 9:15 pm
Aww I’m so happy for the both of them.
May 27th, 2010 at 9:20 pm
Why would you put this under ‘crony-ism’?
May 27th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
The only adult from this situation is Mashonda.
She was cheated on, she tried to talk to Alicia woman to woman so she went public and wrote a letter. Swizz was the one to step out on her and get two women pregnant: Jahna Sebastia & Alicia.
Swizz will get his punishment from the higher powers above! Hes a loser and I hope Akeys doesnt think she got a KING in him.
May 27th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
OMG i’m so happy for them. Congrats
May 27th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
I mean damn!!!! Swizz “works” quick huh? Didnt mashonda & him just get their divorce finalized and hes already expecting a baby & planning a wedding?
You gotta watch people like that! They dont love with their heads & hearts, they love within the moment. He seems like the type that gets bored easily and has a wondering eye with an apetite for the next pretty young thing.
Sorry to be negative but I see court hearings for custody & child support in the future for Keys & Beats.
May 27th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
like swizz say it show time
May 27th, 2010 at 9:45 pm
really?
May 27th, 2010 at 10:17 pm
Congrats i guess? Yes, a baby is a blessing Info. But that doesn’t excuse the actions of these adults. So I hope they have a healthy young’n but they will have to deal with what they did. You can’t gain TRUE happiness causing misery to others.
May 27th, 2010 at 10:22 pm
Biracial people unite!!! haha
May 27th, 2010 at 10:52 pm
*sobbing*
fuck him. FUCK HIM! he took her from me.. 🙁 🙁 🙁
May 27th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
I guess it wasn’t meant to be Alicia. I hope you grow those cankles back.
Yeah I’m hatin.
May 27th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
Alicia is Sexy as hell, but, why she let the dude with the Count Chocula Nose Knock Her Up? What with these Super Fine women settling with these Muppet Babies lookin cats ? The Old saying is True that Beautiful women don’t date guys on their sme Level…..
May 27th, 2010 at 11:23 pm
Wow! Black Hollywood is going bananas on the concept of finding love! Divorcing then being coupled up is happening way too quickly. Do we not respect one another? Oh but u aren’t supposed to comment on things that people know aren’t cool, that’s called “hating” best of luck to the blended family! : )
May 27th, 2010 at 11:28 pm
if that was the case, nobody would ever have onesided breakups. I’m sure you’ve been on both the giving and receiving side of heartbreak? Doesn’t make it right, but you still make a choice because you just don’t want to stay in a situation….love is hell.
May 27th, 2010 at 11:39 pm
UUUUUUUuuuummmmm ok ok ok everybody shut up…. U all are regular people that are on a different timeline from celbrities.. Just beacuse the divorce was just recently finalized it doesn’t mean that Swizz’s relationship with Mashonda hasn’t ended a long time ago… Stay in ur lane and let Swizz and Alicia enjoy their life together.. All u bitter women who got over looked b/c something better came a long step ya game up… Swizz beats is an intellectual and so is Alicia that’s why they will work… Mashonda is just his high school sweet heart… People grow apart get over it…
May 27th, 2010 at 11:44 pm
So Swizz is guilty of not lettin’ the ink dry on his divorce right? But isn’t this the same society that increasing says “paper doesn’t make a marriage?” Cant have it both ways.
In the end I it works out for all involved.
May 27th, 2010 at 11:50 pm
…
okie dokie
Jay & B are the real deal as a power couple. I give these two 5 yrs. It’s irresponsible to be having a child while your ex-wife is taking you to court for missed child support payments….STOP IT 5!!!!
…
May 27th, 2010 at 11:57 pm
Swizz is rich. Only time someone as goofy looking as Swizzbeats can get someone as fine as Alicia, mofo gotta be seriously paid… I know she don’t need his money, but it don’t hurt…
May 28th, 2010 at 12:06 am
Id like to just say that I really like Mashonda, she’s very sweet and obviously very pretty and a great mom as far as I’ve seen. So there’s nothing wrong with her. And I hope that just because someone isn’t famous and rich, doesnt mean they’re not lovable and valuable. but yes, “people grow apart.”
May 28th, 2010 at 12:15 am
I just think there is a better ways to go about leaving a relationship without publicly parading your affair around while you’re still married but that’s just me. And honestly, I’m cool with every female I’ve dealt with on that level because I’m a man and don’t do shady shit when I’m with someone. Why be in a relationship and cheat? Be a man or woman about the situation and end things respectably if things ain’t right. There are ways to end a relationship without people being done dirty.
And as for people growing apart, that’s an excuse for someone was doing dirt, someone didn’t want to do the work to maintain the relationship or, more than likely, the two people weren’t meant to be together from jump street. Just saying…
May 28th, 2010 at 12:28 am
Stop spreading gossip fools. Congrats A Keys keep doing you and continue to keep your personal life to yourself and let the folks that don’t have anything better to do continue to speculate.
May 28th, 2010 at 12:51 am
my youth breed dat up quick!! , him nah ramp at all lol
May 28th, 2010 at 1:21 am
So… is she gonna convert to islam?
*elephant in the room*
May 28th, 2010 at 1:36 am
Another baby out of wedlock? That’s great.
Can’t wait until Alicia leaves him and starts dating Scott Storch openly before their divorce is final, because that would be real classy.
May 28th, 2010 at 2:11 am
You know what, the public can only go off of what it’s told. If you don’t clear up the untruths about you, don’t be upset when you’re misrepresented. And sorry, but Mashonda saying out of her mouth what happened is a lot more than speculation.
May 28th, 2010 at 2:44 am
We all make choices…its all what you choose as your values and standards. its easier judge from the outside but know it would be a dealbreaker for me to start dating a guy who is STILL MARRIED legally…
Mashonda (from what ive seen n heard) carried herself in a classy way, i cant imagine this not hurting her. dammmn.
New toys always are shiny and new initially…eventually they are replaced.
i hope for everyone’s sake, all will get along… but damn i cant help to think its like a “POW” slap in the face (“yeah now im havin his baby biyatch”)

May 28th, 2010 at 3:34 am
congratulating a women (celeb or no celeb) for being pregnant by a man who was still married during conception seems very inconsiderate to the wife who was clearly very hurt over this situation. i wish mashona well and regardless of my views on the situation i wish AK & swizz a healthy baby
May 28th, 2010 at 4:37 am
No she didn’t Fred.
May 28th, 2010 at 4:40 am
I agree, as I quasi-know Mashonda and I love it when I see her in the city pushin’ Bentleys and sh-t with her homegirls. She’s a very respectful and respectable young lady who is humble, regardless of her means. Sh-t happens and I’m sorry that it happened to her (and Swizz). We’re just passive spectators…we don’t know what’s going on…
May 28th, 2010 at 4:42 am
the biggest fugly is jay z and b
how da fuck did he pull her god dam
May 28th, 2010 at 7:47 am

May 28th, 2010 at 7:49 am
I’m with u on that my dude….
:'(
May 28th, 2010 at 7:59 am
Nice to know there are men that see this sh@t for what it really is. Stop trying to rationalize it to Info, its perfectly clear that she distorts reality when it comes to her “cronies”, lol. Honestly, you think she is gonna tell the truth and say that was f’ed up when she gotta deal with these people to advance her career??????She is almost as bad as Necole Bitchie.
May 28th, 2010 at 8:01 am
you really think Swizz is thinking about his deen right now????????
May 28th, 2010 at 8:42 am
money makes people good looking
May 28th, 2010 at 8:43 am
the big question is, How long are they going to last before they break up?
May 28th, 2010 at 8:46 am
Congrats to both of them, a child is a beautiful thing. I only hope that the adults in the situation can be mature enough to not let this affect the children, because now its siblings involved. As long as they do right by the kids, God bless them.
May 28th, 2010 at 8:55 am
WOW evryone who is hatin on any of them need to def get a life && mind theirs kus wht either of them are dealin w has nothin to do w any of yahh . im speakin frm experience , im goin thru sum similar to dht && clearly idc wht others think kus in the end of it all im still guna do me . feel me
May 28th, 2010 at 10:00 am
So wait if I want to have a child with someone, I have to wait until the “hurt” ex girlfriend, some to be ex wife, whatever the case may be, has come to terms with reality to live my life, ah who mek dem rules?…{{sucks teeth, rolls eyes}}

congratz Swizzy on having one of the best [edit] there is out there IMO!
beautiful talented wealthy! u won bruh…Mashonda need to turn cougar n get back on track with her life!
May 28th, 2010 at 11:54 am
its a sad day when the mistress gets congratulated for being pregnant and the wife gets bashed. i wonder if the situation was reversed and alicia was the wife and mashonda was the mistress? would the response be the same? would people congratulate mashonda or would they be calling her a home wrecker? alot of people are hypocrites when it comes to A-list celebrities. maybe if mashonda had sandra bullock status people would feel bad for her. right is right and wrong is wrong.
May 28th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
hopefully they’ll both become atheists.
May 28th, 2010 at 6:36 pm
Missinfo,
i hear what your saying and your completely right. there are onesided breakups and heartache, etc. but the problem is when someone decides to date and obviously have sexual relations with another while still married. even if the divorce was in process, the fact of the matter is that you wait until everything is finalized. and on Akeys part she should have had the decency to at least not make things so public with swizz until things were finalized. but i guess when your a celebrity you can pretty much do anything and get away with it and even have ppl to support you. HOLLYWOOD SUCKS!
May 28th, 2010 at 6:40 pm
NOPE. Dont feel you at all. its not hating. its not our fault celebrities decide to have their personal life on blast for the world to see. everyone is entitled to their own opinion. thats the reason why you and me are writing on a “BLOG” website. because we DONT mind our business…good day!
May 29th, 2010 at 11:39 am
Getting another women pregnant by a man whose divorce just became final is so ugh. Let me spell it out for you in a way that the “politically correct I have to deal with these people” Miss INFO cannot – A. Keys is pregnant by a man who only recently got divorced which in the the dynamics of relationships confirms that they were screwing well into his days as a married man to ANOTHER women! Separated is still married until it isnt.
Im so disappointed in A.Keys. Why do u need to get pregnant b-4 marriage? This couldn’t have waited? You have put yourself in the same category as the 19 year old project girl w/ no morals, no respect for another women, and no regards for your image. You are a homewrecker at best. Dont try and clean it up with the notion of love overtaking your mind.
May 29th, 2010 at 11:45 am
Are you serious INFO? Im so disappointed in you. How can u even remotely justify this. They are your friends and easy to root for, so u justify a man cheating on his wife/mother of his kids. Dont say u dont when u start with your one sided relationship mumbo jumbo. To make matters worse he gets her pregnant soon after if not during his marriage (we’ll know for sure when the baby is born & we count backwards). He is a dog and she is the female version. I dont expect artist to be perfect moral creatures cuz none of us are. Nonetheless, people who are of age should know better. They couldnt have strived not to be so damn disgustingly oblivious to a mother and fellow women in Ms. Keys case. This makes Alicia simply a pregnant [edit] who blisfully justifies her tackiness with love.
May 29th, 2010 at 12:39 pm
who the fuck justified infidelity? its wrong to cheat. but once a relationship has changed, it has changed. you’re lucky you live in such a perfect world.
May 29th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
The baby is going to look like Kat Stacks
May 30th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
i wasn’t following the whole alicia and swizz relationship, but as we all know or should know, that when you’re a celeb it’s very hard to keep personal business personal in that business. on the flip side, wrong is now and will forever be wrong whether you’re alicia keys or shanelle from the block. however, no one walking this earths surface is perfect( jay says)With that said, let the Lord be the sole judge
May 31st, 2010 at 9:30 pm
Mashonda,
Is a women scorned who is trying to sabotage their careers. She needs to grow up and move on with her life. And for everyone else you have no right to judge them. No one really knows what happened and on top of that, it is no one’s business. Swizz is divoreced now and that is all that matters. So Mashonda move on you cannot make someone love you. Maybe he moved on because of all her hell raising he was indeed separated from her a while now divorced
June 1st, 2010 at 11:51 am
how do you figure that she is scorned and trying to sabatoge anyones career?…in what shape or form has she tried to sabatoge AKey’s career. Swizz and Akeys actions have spoken louder than any words that mashonda has said about the matter. And how do you know she hasnt moved on??? You obviously dont know any more about any of these ppl than all of us “regular” ppl do. so stop with the bashing of mashonda. and no one is judging. its called an OPINION.(it seems like ur being a hypocrite as well because your judging mashonda BTW!) its not our fault celebrities decide to have their personal life on blast for the world to see. everyone is entitled to their own OPINION. thats the reason why you and me are writing on a “BLOG” website. because we DONT mind our business…good day!
June 2nd, 2010 at 6:00 pm
I AGREE WITH YOU KIM IM TIRED OF PEOPLE COMMENTING ON THIS A.KEYS ND SWIZZ I WISH THEM THE BEST OF LUCK. MZ A.KEYS LOVE YOU SWEETIE I STILL SUPPORT YOU NO MATTER WHAT HATERS SAY.
June 2nd, 2010 at 6:08 pm
ITS ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY SAID IT PEOPLE MAKIN ME WANT TO CURSE THEM OUT CUZ IM TIRED OF THE BS MASHONDA GIRL GET OVER IT HE WONT BE THE FIRST AND DEF NOT THE LAST.SO SUCK IT UP AND KEEP ON LIVING LIFE
